BREAKFAST EDUCATION TODAY from 9:00-10:00 am (Breakfast served 8-9:30 am) features Taryn Southern, who is an award-winning storyteller and creative technologist exploring the intersection of emerging tech and human potential. Her groundbreaking creative experiments offer unique insights into how we can all engage technology to unleash more joy, wellbeing and productivity.

A digital media pioneer, Taryn’s career began at the forefront of the online content revolution. In 2007, she hosted and produced a TV series documenting her travels to meet MySpace friends and uploaded her first viral video to YouTube. Over the next decade, she created over 1,500 videos garnering more than 1 billion views.

Taryn has since used AI to push the boundaries of creative possibility: composing the world’s first AI album, creating a video clone of herself and releasing an award-winning spatial series for Google, and directing a Tribeca Film Festival featured documentary on the future of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), now available on Apple and Amazon.

Since 2021, Taryn has served as Chief Storyteller at a leading implantable neurotechnology company, where she launched the world’s first BCI museum and oversaw communications strategy for two successful funding rounds totaling over $250M+. An advocate of women in science and tech, she is also an angel invester in future-forward companies such as Oura, Etched, Extend Fertility, Vessel Health, Cue Health and Forever Labs.
